Las Vegas has always had culture. It just doesn't always get credit for it.
People say this city has no roots โ but my family planted theirs here in 1955, and I've been blessed to grow from them my whole life.
As I prepare to sell a piece of our family's legacy, I find myself overcome with gratitude for everything this home held. My grandparents built a life here when Las Vegas was still finding its own identity. My dad and two aunts grew up within these walls. And for me, my brother, and so many cousins โ this was the place where summers tasted like home cooking, where Uno games went on longer than they should have, where you could run through the yard without a care, knock on a neighbor's door and leave with a smile and a treat, and buy a bean pie from the Nation of Islam brothers on the corner like it was the most natural thing in the world.
Because it was.
Our grandmother was a pillar of Second Baptist Church โ leading Sunday school, pouring into her community, and helping launch the Sunday Ministry programming on KCEP 88.1 FM.
She didn't just attend her community. She built it.
That's the Las Vegas I know.
Dynamic, layered, deeply human.
I wanted to share this beautiful documentary that captures a piece of that world before this next chapter begins. Watch it. Feel it. Pass it on.

And if you or someone you know is looking to invest in a well-loved home in a historic Las Vegas neighborhood that is actively revitalizing โ stay tuned. This listing will be live very soon, and it carries more history than square footage can measure.
This one is personal. ๐ค
